Kris Holm 26 in.freeride/Husker Du wheelbuild

Looking to build up a lighter wheelset.Most fatbike are overkill for my needs so I started to lokkk at DH/Trials rims.Came across Kris Holm freeride 26"rims at 47mm.Looking to lace them to my salsa hubs.Will my HD's fit this narrow of a rim?I was considering Marge Lites but its more rim width then what I need and with that more $$$.Any other narrow rim suggestions..Checked out Echo's and Trialtechs but their very difficult to find.

I only have first hand experience with the V!Z "rear" 47mm wide 26" rims. I mounted an Endomorph, Larry, and Nate to them. They stay on once installed well, but installing them well takes care. The bead fit is very loose. You'll either have a very round and true result, or blow the tire off the rim while inflating. (I'm making it sound worse than it is, after practice.)

Do you think that the tire would have the tendency to blow off under harsh terrain? see pictures.

My experience is that the Endo and BF have a very nice and tight fit on the Trialtech's.
And SANDMAN is using them on their bikes, and they seem to abuse them without major issues.
So i think it's pretty safe to say that you don't have to worry about that to much.

I'm with Drew on the V!Z rims. Kind of a pain in the butt to set up but once there no issues. They are what I use in the summer. I don't ride super gnarly terrain but one trail in particular has plenty of 4" to 6" rocks that you just can't totally miss and I certainly don't. I do get rim strikes but no blowouts yet. No pinch flats either and I sure feel like some of the hits would have been on a "regular" bike. I had to order the rims from TartyBikes in the UK but they came fast and the shipping was not too bad.

Seem to have a decent selection... I'm a lightweight so the Rockman rims looked pretty appealing to me. Haven't pulled trigger yet since A: Husker Du's look to be a long ways off and B: Salsa 170 hub will take some saving at two bucks for the Mukluk 2 version. Anyone have any experience with the Rockmans?

Looking for a 47mm-ish wide, 32h rim for a fat front project I'm working on. Would actually prefer double-wall but could go single. Would also like to source from someplace in the US, but have been told by one shop so far that the market for trials stuff has really dried up...
